  • Turbine engine airfoil
    Patent number: 11952912
    Abstract: A turbine engine includes a compressor section, a combustion section, and a turbine section, and an airfoil with an outer wall defining a pressure side and a suction side and extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge to define a mean camber line. A first thickness is defined between the pressure side and the suction side at a first location along the mean camber line.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 24, 2022
    Date of Patent: April 9, 2024
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Thomas William Vandeputte, Paul Hadley Vitt, Daniel Endecott Osgood, Brian David Keith
  • Airfoil assembly with flow surface
    Patent number: 11939880
    Abstract: A turbine engine stage includes a plurality of airfoils extending between an inner band and an outer band. Each airfoil in the plurality of airfoils can have an outer wall defining a pressure side and a suction side, with the outer wall extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge. An intervening flow passage is defined between two adjacent airfoils in the plurality of airfoils.

  • Adhesive bonding of isotropic fiber webs to form pattern bonded composites
    Patent number: 3958055
    Abstract: Outer plies of cellulosic tissue and an intermediate, Isotropic, reinforcing textile length fiber web are attached together by a pattern of adhesive lines with the fibers of the web embedded in the adhesive lines, to provide a tissue fiber laminate nonwoven fabric which is flexible and conformable with adequate strength particularly in the cross direction so as to be suitable for use as a textile substitute.
